Agreed. As I've said, I don't think any of this should be viewed as Stevie "holding out." If she's trying to decide where to record, and if she's trying to decide if she wants Lindsey or someone else to produce, at least she's on board in general. Logistics are logistics. |

of course, they told Christine she's out when she wanted to do just recording.

That should be the least of their worries right now. Lindsey went in to her lair and recorded Soldier's Angel and he can do that again on 3-4 songs, just to get an album out. In fact, since his ominousity is not needed by Stevie any longer, he doesn't even have to do the production work that he did on Soldier's Angel. Just go in there and sing and shut up. Stevie said he did that once before with The Chain. She says he just went up there and sang it the way she told him, "for once in his life" he can do that again. They have only signed up for 4 months of tour dates. The band wants a world tour. Stevie can refuse to sign up for more tour dates until they agree to records her songs the way she wants. Shouldn't be that hard. Michele |

define "very little". is it defined by the amount one bickers in the media? he gave tons of his best songs to that album. didn't he also agree not to get paid for some of them? yes he's still proud of songs on that album (as he should be!), but does he really enjoy doing all the work and getting only constant bickering as a reward? i'll give in to you now because i care about you but you'll never hear the end of it in the media after that?? i don't know.

The record execs probably have to sign off on the sequencing and they decide what the first single is. If Lindsey is there pushing his side and the rest of the band is miles away, then of course his side is going to have more influence. If she chose Needham because her guy didn't have time, that is not Lindsey forcing his desires on her. As far as a double album goes, since we aren't using vinyl anymore, the SYW double album could have held way more songs than Tusk did. And, a double album may have given them the space to sequence the songs better (since you think this was such a loss for Stevie) and, perhaps, even break them up into themes for Disc 1 and Disc 2, so it would have been more cohesive. At any rate, the 18-song SYW didn't come off as being such a coup for Lindsey in DR as you make it out to be. Michele |

Define "side.' I think the opinion of one side losing very little tends to vary, depending on what side you're on.

It's very possible that she did threaten to do that, but we don't know with certainty that she did. Lindsey was definitely worried that she might, though. His scenario -- tour, do another album, tour -- in order to recoup his losses on releasing a double album, sure did require quite a gamble. It also placed a lot of expectations on his band-mates. I need to re-watch parts of 'Destiny Rules' again, because I remember some of that argument differently. Quote:

Who said she only just started to decide? Plus, we don't know what's been decided in the weeks since those interviews were given. |

Yes, if they did another album (as he wanted after SYW) he would have wanted to tour after that, but that second album and tour were not related to making up his losses for a double album. I think it was just about making music and playing new music in concert. Michele |

all major decisions should be sorted out by now. and i hope they are. but yeah, we have no clue. this whole thread is a complete speculation. but fun nevertheless.

Discussing tracks per album, that "controlled composition" clause is on a per album basis, not a per artist basis.
So, if the record company is only paying mechanical royalties on 10 songs, it's not 10 songs written by Lindsey, in addition to 10 songs written by Stevie. It's 10 songwriter/performer songs on the SYW album, period. Then, they don't get paid for songs in excess of 10, the record company deducts that excess amount from the royalties. Michele |

I'd love to know if there were additional Stevie tracks completed, and if any of the other 'GoS' recordings were in the running. Or if the double-album would have consisted of those 22 songs spread across two discs. Still seemed a lot closer to his vision than anyone else's. |

"The only reason I was willing to eat the kind of money that would have made the double-album possible, in terms of bringing the price down... I had to contemplate a scenario which would have been to do much more touring, to do another album and to do more touring after that." Obviously the one tour was not going to be enough. He was going to need to tour longer than 40 dates, and do another album, and another tour. |
